Peirce College Giving

Your gifts and donations directly benefit Peirce students.

Thank you for Considering Making a Gift to Peirce College

Over 70% of our students receive some form of financial aid in order to pursue a college degree. Without the support of alumni and friends of the College, many of those students would not receive the funding they rely on to fuel their goals and aspirations. Simply put, they couldn’t do it without the College giving out aid, and our ability to do so is in large part made possible by donations from all of you.

Personal contributions to the College can be made in the form of an outright gift, but many other types of donations are accepted as well. If you're a friend of Peirce College or alumnus/alumna and have questions about giving back to Peirce, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement.

Online Gifts

Friends of Peirce and alumni can make an online donationthrough our secure server.

Corporate Matching GiftsMany employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer and send it completed and signed with your gift. The impact of your gift to Peirce may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies also match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.

Credit Card GiftsWe gratefully accept gifts by major credit cards. Gifts can be charged to Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express by calling the Office of Institutional Advancement at 1.888.467.3472, ext. 9323.

Memorial GiftsMaking a memorial gift to Peirce College is a wonderful way to honor and remember an individual who was admired, loved and respected. Your gift is a lasting tribute to the important part that he or she played in your life and/or in the College. It can establish a permanent link with the past and encourages others to participate in a vision for the future.

Memorial gifts can be established as outright gifts to the College, by including a bequest in your will, or through creating an endowment to fund a special program or project.
